I don't blame the average seventeen-year-old punk-rock kid for calling me a sellout. I understand that.

My body is damaged from music in two ways. I have a red irritation in my stomach. It's psychosomatic, caused by all the anger and the screaming.

Kurt Cobain Anyhow • Feminine • Friends • Gay • Girls • High School • Life • Person • Really • School • Sickly
I have to admit I've found myself doing the same things that a lot of other rock stars do or are forced to do. Which is not being able to respond to mail, not being able to keep up on current music, and I'm pretty much locked away a lot. The outside world is pretty foreign to me.

There's nothing better than having a baby. I've always loved children. I used to work summers at the YMCA and be in charge of, like, 30 preschool kids. I knew that when I had a child, I'd be overwhelmed, and it's true… I can't tell you how much my attitude has changed since we've got Frances. Holding my baby is the best drug in the world.
